NAME
       git-remote-fd - Reflect smart transport stream back to caller

SYNOPSIS
       "fd::[,][/]" (as URL)

DESCRIPTION
       This helper uses specified file descriptors to connect to a remote Git
       server. This is not meant for end users but for programs and scripts
       calling git fetch, push or archive.

       If only  is given, it is assumed to be a bidirectional socket
       connected to remote Git server (git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack or
       git-upload-achive). If both  and  are given, they are
       assumed to be pipes connected to a remote Git server ( being the
       inbound pipe and  being the outbound pipe.

       It is assumed that any handshaking procedures have already been
       completed (such as sending service request for git://) before this
       helper is started.

        can be any string. It is ignored. It is meant for providing
       information to user in the URL in case that URL is displayed in some
       context.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       GITTRANSLOOPDEBUG
           If set, prints debugging information about various reads/writes.

EXAMPLES
       git fetch fd::17 master
           Fetch master, using file descriptor #17 to communicate with
           git-upload-pack.

       git fetch fd::17/foo master
           Same as above.

       git push fd::7,8 master (as URL)
           Push master, using file descriptor #7 to read data from
           git-receive-pack and file descriptor #8 to write data to same
           service.

       git push fd::7,8/bar master
           Same as above.
